I'm still looking for a tenor for the MA in Solo-Voice Ensemble Singing at the U of York this September. A year's course, coaching every week from me and top quality singing lessons (not from me...) Please be in touch if you're interested - and do pass on. Current lot (2 groups) pictured.

Did you know? By replacing your coffee with green tea, you can lose up to 92% of what little joy you still have left in your life.

This is such an exciting find for #EthelSmyth research! The presumed lost complete manuscript of the Mass in D has been found!!
Congrats on this find, @lisacolton.bsky.social and the archivists @livunilibrary.bsky.social !

AI or not - these just look a bit wrong, like many images generated by AI.

Besides the images looking weird to begin with, for an organisation that values a high quality of art, it’s difficult to say β€˜we really care about opera’ while also implying β€˜we don’t really care about artists’. The sub-par quality of the imagery takes away from the quality of the organisation.

Mary, Queen of Scots | Buy Opera Tickets for 2024/25 | ENO Book your tickets to experience ENO's premiere of Thea Musgrave's grand and thrilling opera about the Scottish queen on the London Coliseum stage.

Strongly suspect this ENO imagery is AI - the glowing side-lighting, thistle and crown details jumbled like something from a bad dream. If so, Thea Musgrave deserves better, as do opera-goers. Please pay real artists so I don't feel like I'm having a stroke www.eno.org/whats-on/mar...

Disappointing. If ENO believe in the importance of operatic art, they should care equally for visual art.

Series 10 - amazingly- of Choral Chihuahua starts with Joanna Marsh and her new album. I’m slightly drunk on her rich textures: hear her talk about matching music to poetry and more. Search Choral Chihuahua to listen for free. New ep every 2 weeks.

Wow. Here is one to brighten up your morning. The first images of the restored interior of Notre Dame cathedral. Breathtaking. In just five years France did it

One of the good/bad things about our industry is that change can feel a bit tectonic, so whilst it can seem ages to get something moving, once it starts, it's quite hard to stop.

What if you answered every question with a song?

We thought @bsky.app would appreciate this clip of Roderick Williams taken from our SingTheScore series on YouTube!
